Glen Burnie Domestic Violence Lawyers

Domestic violence is an assault charge that involves members of the same
family, household, or in a romantic relationship. Unless the injury is
serious or a dangerous
weapon was involved, it is typically considered a misdemeanor. However, if the
accused already has prior assault convictions, they may face much harsher
penalties for a domestic violence charge.

What Happens After a Domestic Violence Charge?

The victims of most domestic violence cases tend to seek what is called
temporary peace, or a protective order against the alleged abuser.

This temporary protective order has the following immediate ramifications:

You will be ordered to vacate your home

You will be ordered to stay away from the victim

You will be ordered to yield temporary custody of your children

This will stay in effect until the hearing, where both parties will tell
their story for a judge to carefully review and consider. We can represent
you at this crucial hearing and put our experience to work in order to
restore peace in your life.

During this period, it is important that you respect the protective order.
If you fail to do so, you will most likely be sent to jail or face additional
and harsher repercussions. Ward & Co., Chtd. can represent through
this time, whether you are facing protective order violation charges or
simply domestic violence accusations.
